Timing belt Continental or DAYCO

I have a continental timing belt with 180K km on it. Yes it’s time to change it, but it still looks good. They are good belts, my engines life depends on it.

Vote 1, for Dayco Timing belts

I've always bought the Continental branded ones and had good luck with them.

Been running them on my 350hp turbo M20 for 6 years now with no issues

Dayco, continental should be fine, as long as it’s not China Amazon stuff. Gates it usually good but as with anything these days quality control is a crap shoot.

Dayco is an OE manufacture for many manufacturers, it's a pretty solid belt. Quick answer is yes you should get it changed ASAP, I've seen a lot worse belts than this one and they drove to the dealership just fine.

I have read a lot about the wet timing belt issues, and still went ahead to purchase a 308SW with 85KM...for the 1.2 Puretech, I believe companies like continental contitech have produce a CT1228 belt specifically to tackle oil on the belt, and I believe it's important we use the correct and good quality oil..

Dayco isn’t original meaning someone’s changed it before. Cracks mean way too long ago. Don’t chance it

My mecanic do my timing belt last time 130 k miles and now at 230 k miles.Was a continental tech was nice state but is a granade stuff…no more than 80 k miles period catastrophic failure

Posibil sa fi pățit ceva asemanator cu piese cumparate de la Bardi. Distribuție schimbată de 2 ani și 6-7 luni, m-a lăsat in drum după 35k km. Din câte știu ar fi trebuit sa țină 4-5 ani sau 60k.
